Are diamonds artificially rare?
Yes, and no. Your answer depends on the 'diamonds' you reference. Diamonds are rare in their occurrence on earth. When mined, only about 20% of the diamonds are gem-quality. Most people do not know about the other 80%, the industrial diamonds. Some have said that 'there are enough diamonds in the world to give every person half a cup full' -- or other analogy, to give the impression that indeed diamonds are not rare. Given the 80/20 rule, there would not be many gems in the half-cup. Most gem-quality diamonds are about the size of a garden pea. This means that larger stones, stones with extraordinary clarity or colour become extremely valuable -- because they are more rare. It is the larger, more colour-ful stones that lend credence to the 'value of diamonds'. Some large and coloured diamonds have sold recently for multiple tens of millions of US dollars. As well, you can probably purchase a half-pound bag of industrial diamonds for about the price of a latte.

How many diamonds have been found?
This is a question with no correct or accurate answer. Humans have been picking up diamonds since 6,000 BC (in India), and raw diamonds can be cut into many pieces, depending on the original size of the raw stone. In addition to all the mined and found stones accounted for, there are stones without record. Diamonds are also mined by criminal enterprises, where records may not be kept. Finally, cut and polished stones can be re-cut and in some records become new and additional stones. You can read more about diamonds by following the link, below.
